After a week battling a dreadful cold, this weekend was spent nestled up at home watching far too much TV and planning all kinds of adventures for our upcoming trip to Europe (turning 26 in Champagne, France? Yes, please!). Luckily I’m not feeling much better, am all TV’d out and am feeling very excited about our impending trip – seven weeks and counting.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead – let’s be honest, with The Bachelor finale and Pitch Perfect 2 hitting cinemas, it’s a pretty exciting week! Here are five things to get your week off to an even better start…

What an absolutely stunning weekend, huh? It’s hard to believe summer is still a month away – it definitely feels like it’s arrived a little early! After being knocked out with illness much of this week we were super busy this weekend catching up on things around the house and catching up with friends we felt as though we hadn’t seen in months – all round it was a busy, productive, beautiful weekend.

I hope you had a great weekend too and are all set to launch head-first into the week ahead. Here are five things to get you started…

After weeks and weeks of busy weekends we finally got a chance to take some time out and relax this weekend – it was amazing! For me that meant spending a lot of time in the kitchen baking some rather special treats – not only the doughnuts I shared yesterday, but some decadent creations I can’t wait to share in coming weeks.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend too and are kicking off the week nice and rested. Here are five things to get your week off to a great start…

Gosh, wasn’t the weekend absolutely boiling? I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt so hot – Auckland was so, so sticky! But I shouldn’t complain – the weather was beautiful, so we spent lots of time out in our little backyard tending to our vertical garden and relaxing in the sunshine. Other than the heat, it was pretty wonderful.

I hope you had a lovely weekend too. Here are five things to get your week off to a great start…

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and a wonderful Mother’s Day – if you’re a Mum yourself I hope you got suitably spoilt! We were very busy this weekend – Saturday was spent working on a rather extravagant cake (you’ll see it on Wednesday!), dinner at Peter Gordon’s Bellota at SkyCity that night and a day packed with Mother’s Day activities on Sunday (including being suitably spoilt by my own ‘baby’, Norm). Here are five things to get your week going!
